Frequently Asked Questions
ISO drums are well suited for products that move across international supply chains. If you are shipping materials globally and need consistent drum dimensions that work across multiple transport modes, ISO drums help simplify handling and reduce variability.
ISO drums are designed with standardized sizing that aligns with global shipping and container requirements. This consistency helps improve space utilization, streamline loading and unloading, and reduce complications when products change hands between carriers or regions.
Unlike standard steel drums designed primarily for domestic use, ISO drums are built to support long-distance transport and repeated handling. Their standardized design helps provide predictability across borders, making them a practical option for export-focused operations.
